In this episode of Divine Conversations, María Carolina Hoyos Turbay opens her soul and heart to reveal the miraculous experiences and unwavering faith that have sustained her through some of Colombia's most devastating tragedies.

Discover how María Carolina Hoyos Turbay found the spiritual strength to forgive Pablo Escobar and Popeye for the murder of her mother, journalist Diana Turbay, and how she faced the painful loss of her brother, political leader Miguel Uribe Turbay, with devotion to the Virgin Mary and Saint Jude Thaddeus.

In this difficult conversation with July del Río and Mafer García, we explore the most human and spiritual side of one of the country's most influential and powerful women.

María Carolina Hoyos shares previously untold details about her childhood, the separation from her brother Miguel due to the violence of drug trafficking, and how family love kept them together despite the pain.

We delve into the moments of greatest testing of faith: her impactful face-to-face encounter with "Popeye," the mysterious arrival of the Traveling Virgin before surgery, and how that same blessed image accompanied her brother in the Intensive Care Unit of the Santa Fe Foundation.

In addition, María Carolina talks to us about her most recent book, Imperfect Happiness, where she teaches her method for managing pain, the power of the mind in the face of anguish, and how to rebuild a home that has been shattered.

This episode is a guiding light for anyone going through grief or a personal storm, reminding us that we don't always need all the answers to continue trusting in God's plan.
